5 MORE DAYS!!!! I'll be home in 5 days! I leave in 4, though :). Almost a whole days worth of travel... that's insane. It's definitely worth it, though. I can't wait to be home. I need a vacation. If I don't get away from this ship soon I may explode.

I had a dream last night that I was home. It was weird, though. You ever have those dreams where you're at a familiar place, but it looks NOTHING like where you know you are? Did you follow that? I had a dream that I was in Bellaire, but it wasn't Bellaire. All my friends were in the dream. Even people that I graduated with decided to show up. Then I saw Matt Taflan. I went behind him and gave him a huge hug. He was like, "Rich! What's up, Bro?!" Then I woke up. I cannot wait to get the crap out of here.

We have some drills going on these next few days. It's a whole lot of battle problem stuff. Like, if we were to be under attack by enemy planes or something, how would we handle it; that kind of stuff. That's basically what the judges are looking for. However, I don't do anything. Not that I'm complaining :). I like the fact that I don't do anything. It's just that... I don't do anything for the entire 3 hours. I just sit there. That always sucks. Oh, well. Like I always say, "That'll happen."

There's not a whole lot more to say. I'll be home soon! God bless!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: Jesus is always there when we call on Him; are you there for Him when He calls on you?
